Prairie Dogs

I love prairie dogs, but not enough to have them in my house. They have a nice collection of them at the Minnesota Zoo.

The prairie dogs (Cynomys) are small, burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. On average, these stout-bodied rodents will grow to be between 12 and 16 inches long, including the short tail.

The highly social prairie dogs live in large colonies or "towns" – collections of prairie dog families that can span hundreds of acres. Families usually consist of 1 male and 2 to 4 females living in a strict social hierarchy.

About Me

This TAG addict's goal is to turn nag points into TAG points.
I started to blog to record my quest for certification.
My most often TAG subject is an 8 year old.
She was introduced to TAGGING at 22 months old while being house trained with a clicker and M&Ms and often asks me to "click" her when she is frustrated.
